The Jills®Giving

With the help of our clients, we have had the privilege to give back to the city we love. We believe that sharing our resources with those less fortunate is fundamental in advancing the collective well being of our society, and we work together to make positive changes in the lives of those that need it most.

Through our family organization, we strive to benefit the families and communities where we live and work. Whether we're building houses for underprivileged families with Habitat for Humanity or making arts and crafts at the Children's Hospital with the Ronald McDonald House Charities, we're always eager to lend a hand to those in need. We partner with a variety of charitable groups such as Susan G. Komen, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Humane Society of Greater Miami, GESU Catholic Church, Fisher Island Philanthropic, the Legal Services of Greater Miami, United Way, Wounded Warriors Project, JAFCO and the Jewish National Fund for Alexander Muss High School in Israel, making a broad impact both locally and around the world.
